Resolving Issues with 'React-InstantSearch'
TLDR robert was having trouble merging results from different collections using react-instantsearch and was facing issues with undefined highlight results. After much discussion, Jason provided a solution using collectionSpecificSearchParameters and highlight_full_fields to solve the problem.

09:24 PMreact-instantsearch ? I have two collections that I would like to combine results for. They have different fields in each collection though. Do I need to do some kind of overriding of the react-instantsearch-hooks-web to support federated multisearch? Any ideas on where I would want to inject in this call?I see support for this was built into the typesense react instant search adapter but I don't see any documentation on how to make a federated search possible. Is there documentation I can look at or could someone perhaps point me in the right direction?

09:39 PM // Search parameters that are common to all collections/indices go here:
additionalSearchParameters: {
query_by: "",
},
// Search parameters that need to be *overridden* on a per-collection-basis go here:
collectionSpecificSearchParameters: {
snippets: {
query_by: "answer,name",
query_by_weights: "2,1",
},
searchable: {
query_by: "text,context",
query_by_weights: "2,1",
},
},Now I'm working out some of the kinks in having multiple

10:21 PMcollectionSpecificSearchParameters is the way to go.The undefined behavior sounds strange. Could you try using the latest version of the instantsearch adapter and at least Typesense 0.23.1 to see if you can replicate the issue?

11:49 PM<Highlight /> component. By default Typesense snippets results. So when you use <Highlight />, the field it’s looking for doesn’t exist in the Typesense response and it displays as undefined.If you add a param called
highlight_full_fields like below, you should then start seeing the highlights instead of undefined.collectionSpecificSearchParameters: {
snippets: {
query_by: "answer,name",
query_by_weights: "2,1",
highlight_full_fields: "answer,name",
},
searchable: {
query_by: "text,context",
query_by_weights: "2,1",
highlight_full_fields: "text,context",
}

11:58 PMI just double-checked the adapter code. We don’t set a default for highlight full fields

12:00 AM<Snippet /> will work by default, since Typesense snippets all query_by fields without additional configuration
